  2. Capstan equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capstan_equation

    where is the applied tension on the line, is the resulting force exerted at the other side of the capstan, is the coefficient of friction between the rope and capstan materials, and is the total angle swept by all turns of the rope, measured in radians (i.e., with one full turn the angle =).

  3. Tape correction (surveying) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_correction_(surveying)

    P is the tension or pull applied to the tape; newtons. A tape held in catenary will record a value larger than the correct measurement. Thus, the correction C s {\displaystyle C_{s}} is subtracted from L {\displaystyle L} to obtain the corrected distance:

  4. Catenary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catenary

    A chain hanging from points forms a catenary. The silk on a spider's web forming multiple elastic catenaries.. In physics and geometry, a catenary (US: / ˈ k æ t ən ɛr i / KAT-ən-err-ee, UK: / k ə ˈ t iː n ər i / kə-TEE-nər-ee) is the curve that an idealized hanging chain or cable assumes under its own weight when supported only at its ends in a uniform gravitational field.

  5. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(force)

    The angle of attack is the angle between the chord line of an airfoil and the oncoming airflow. A symmetrical airfoil generates zero lift at zero angle of attack. But as the angle of attack increases, the air is deflected through a larger angle and the vertical component of the airstream velocity increases, resulting in more lift.

  6. Tractrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractrix

    In geometry, a tractrix (from Latin trahere ' to pull, drag '; plural: tractrices) is the curve along which an object moves, under the influence of friction, when pulled on a horizontal plane by a line segment attached to a pulling point (the tractor) that moves at a right angle to the initial line between the object and the puller at an ...

  7. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    Clearly, in this example, the angle between the crank and the rod is not a right angle. Summing the angles of the triangle 88.21832° + 18.60639° + 73.17530° gives 180.00000°. A single counter-example is sufficient to disprove the statement "velocity maxima/minima occur when crank makes a right angle with rod".
